  - ### Method Detail

    - #### simplify

          public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                              throws XPathException

      Simplify an expression. This performs any static optimization (by rewriting the expression as a different expression). The default implementation does nothing.
      Specified by:
        `simplify` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
      Returns:
        the simplified expression
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

    - #### typeCheck

          public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                             ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                               throws XPathException

      Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.
      Overrides:
        `typeCheck` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
        `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
      Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    - #### optimize

          public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType contextItemType)
                              throws XPathException

      Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

      This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

      Overrides:
        `optimize` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `visitor` - an expression visitor
        `contextItemType` - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to `Type.ITEM_TYPE`
      Returns:
        the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

    - #### iterateSubExpressions

          public Iterator<Expression> iterateSubExpressions()

      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression.
      Overrides:
        `iterateSubExpressions` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

    - #### iterateSubExpressionInfo

          public Iterator<SubExpressionInfo> iterateSubExpressionInfo()

      Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression.
      Overrides:
        `iterateSubExpressionInfo` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

    - #### explain

          public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

      Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.
      Specified by:
        `explain` in class `Expression`
      Parameters:
        `out` - the expression presenter used to display the structure

    - #### copy

          public Expression copy()

      Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.
      Specified by:
        `copy` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        the copy of the original expression

    - #### promoteInst

          protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                              throws XPathException

      Description copied from class: `Instruction`
      Handle promotion offers, that is, non-local tree rewrites.
      Overrides:
        `promoteInst` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `offer` - The type of rewrite being offered
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if an error occurs

    - #### processLeavingTail

          public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                                      throws XPathException

      ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.
      Specified by:
        `processLeavingTail` in interface `TailCallReturner`
      Specified by:
        `processLeavingTail` in class `Instruction`
      Parameters:
        `context` - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.
      Returns:
        null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.
      Throws:
        `XPathException` - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction

    - #### getExpressionCompiler

          public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

      Return the compiler of the Stream expression
      Overrides:
        `getExpressionCompiler` in class `Expression`
      Returns:
        the relevant ExpressionCompiler
